I hope you've had a great summer! As you might have noticed, I took some time off... After having spent some family time in Sweden these last few weeks, I'm back in Paris since last night only to repack my bags and leave for Copenhagen tomorrow!My stay in Sweden was not all about vacation, I also did some work... Like a quick trip to Stockholm to visit the Formex fair for example! Goal: fill up on inspiration and find some new products for the shop.

Pour résumer, j'ai vu du cuivre absolument PARTOUT, pas mal de laiton, beaucoup de gris sobre mais aussi des endroits l'éclectiques et colorés ("Eclectic touch" était d'ailleurs le thème de Formex cette fois-ci), et plein de produits en bois et en rotin. Je n'ai rien vu de très innovant, mais j'ai trouvé quelques jolis objets quand même.You might have seen quite a few pictures from Formex already on the Scandinavian blogs so I won't bore you with a complete review of the fair... But in case you haven't or still want more, here are my impressions and favourites from the fair!To sum up, I saw copper absolutey EVERYWHERE, quite a lot of brass, lots of sober grey but also eclectic and colorful areas ("Eclectic touch" was the theme of this Formex btw), and many products in wood and rattan. I didn't see anything really innovative, but I did find a few nice things.

House Doctor a montré plein de beaux produits comme d'habitude, mais cette année leur stand était aussi beaucoup plus aéré, clair et inspirant que les années précédentes (la 1ère photo du post vient aussi de leur stand).House Doctor showed lots of nice products as usual, but this year their booth was much more airy, light and inspiring than previous years (the 1st photo in this post is also from their booth).
